They were either sacrificing or their 3 was underranked. Some 5s will get sloppy against a 2-3 and wind up having to win out with their opponent on the hill. It is usually an indicator that the captain has little faith in his/her mid level players and is planning to try to win with the big...

I play it from time to time on my 5x10 pool table. The rules that were posted seem to be lifted from the BCA rulebook. I usually modify the rules to where pocketing a ball only conveys the right to shoot again. The only points I count are on the caroms. I also like a carom game called Cowboy...

the grass is always greener... If you want a 10 foot table by all means buy one. They are rare but can be picked up easily if you are patient. You can get them on Ebay if you are willing to travel. However don't get one for the purpose of improving your game. Playing pool on a 10x5 is very...

Actually, I do have 2 pool tables. A 5x10 and a Dynamo bar box. I bought the bar box for my kids. Funny though, I seem to play 10x the racks on the bar box that my kids do....

I think Mr. Karsh was Robert Byrne's college roommate at CU. I was at Shakespeare's a few years ago and as luck would have it there was a big 3C tournament with people from all over. Byrne was there along with several European players. Some of the shots I saw were incredible - to this pool...

FWIW Shakespeares is closing sometime in the near future as the lease got too pricey (sucks!). Here's another vote for Table Steaks to match up. There are 3 locations - the original on Sheridan is the action spot. Other places are previously mentioned Paradise, Brooklyns on Wadsworth and...

What the hell is the orange crush? 5 and out? orange crush = 5 and the breaks

If you are referring to Showcase in Denver, then yes. I use their tru hit hustler and it has been my primary cue for the last 5 years. Several of my friends have the break cues and like them as well. Chris

In Denver, I work about half a mile away from a Jillians (Golden). The only thing good I can say is that they give me a free hour of pool on their small Gold Crowns (OS 8s I think) for the purchase of lunch. It actually is pretty quiet as the pool room is in the back. The tables are also...

Well - my table did not sell on Ebay. So I guess the question is irrelevant and I am staying put with the pool table for the foreseeable future. There just is no market to speak of for 10 foot tables pool or snooker. If the table sold I decided that I would go with the snooker regardless of the...

We don't know how old the table is. Probably 1930-1945 based on the T-rails. If you were interested in a pic. I listed it on Ebay - search for 5x10 pool table (not snooker). I am interested in replacing it with an older Gold Crown. And I found one (friend of my brother in law saw it) for a...

Definitely true. Many 6s and 7s want to run balls to intimidate a lower ranked player. If the lower ranked player keeps their head about them and manages to win a game they are often on the hill and turn the tables effectively force the stronger player to play *their* game. Higher ranked...

Couldn't agree more. Unfortunately, most teams are constantly in a state of flux as their players get ranked up. As a 6 in Denver I rarely play unless it is against anyone 6 or higher. Consequently, it makes more sense to play BCA or ACS for the bulk of my nights out - which I do. I like APA...
